Squadron for (360)

[Kamak86]

A friend and I are looking forward to this game, we have been following it since last year. We are looking for some people to fly with before the game ships so we dont go in alone. Im not too sure of exactly how the multiplayer is going to be, but flying in a group is better than flying alone :). We have been playing Il2 on hyperlobby for over a year and for something like this to come to console is simply amazing. We both have real life flying experience and i am a licensed pilot. We look forward to have a good time flying together and against ;). My gamertag is Kamak86 and his is Mer1in85. From the obvious nature of our gamer tags you can tell we were born in the 80s. lol anyways I hope to see some of you fly with us.

[Rustee Sheriff]

Been watching the forum for a while now, and waiting for a game like this to appear on the 360 for years. Used to play F15 Strike Eagle II on the Amiga and before that Stealth Fighter on the Commodore 64 - anybody here that old?

A bit rusty now but getting back into this flying malarky with the demo.

Really want to join up with anyone playing during UK/European hours.

Gamertag is Rustee Sheriff.

Watch your 12 o'clock because I'm sure to be in your sights soon....

I didn't play that particular game but I did have this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g2JUj9W9f8

My first taste of flight sim gaming!

I also used to play the old Chuck Yeager game on PC, that was awesome at the time!

[elneilios]

P.s. The following video review just reminded me... F-16 on the Sega Master System could have beaten BOP to being the first console flight sim! It required you to plug in both controllers, left one for pitch and yoke, right one for throttle! Thats gotta be one of the first HOTAS setups ever! Happy memories (even though I was seriously crap at this game)!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6WwFAz2WxM

[Rustee Sheriff]

Brilliant. That's pretty much how Stealth Fighter used to look on the C64! I also remember F16 Falcon on the Amiga - must have been about 1989.

Now I feel old. I think I played my first C64 game back in '83.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6WwFAz2WxM Whoa! I didn't know systems like the master system had games like that.

The closest thing i ever played to a flight sim on a console was afterburner!:rolleyes:

The Speed is on the left, altimeter on the right, top is heading. The grey bits at the bottom of the screen are the HDD - Heads Down Display. The HUD is the white lines that you look through.. god he dosent know anything... i stoped watching after he was on about the HUD..

[Blue Leader]

Sent everyone a request!

[Kamak86]

Sending invites to everyone as well

[Bubbleking]

I'll definitely be looking for some good guys to fly with so everyone feel free to add me!

GT: Bubbleking

Waiting for the release is killing me and I do believe I'm spending way too much time in the demo. ;-)

[Ferigno]

Been waiting for this thread.

Add me and I'll try my best to keep your six clean.

gamertag - Ferigno99

Can't wait for the full release. Already ziptied my AV8R.

[FOZ_1983]

Me and a few of my friend will be playing this, but they dont have the atention span i have towards it so i think the novelty will soon wear off for them.

My xbox live gamertag is STAR FOZ83 (guess the year i was born?? lol).

If i do get a FR can you please send a short message saying who you are, so that i dont decline. Cheers.

I look forward to playing with some commited players who like to work in a team.


Cant miss me, i'll be the one buzzing around in the hawker hurricane ;-)



Look forward to seeing some of you above the skies of england!!

[Sol-Badgreg]

Gamertag: Sol-badgreg. Send me an invite. My xbox is currently en route to my house since it red ringed last month. =P I look forward to flying the less friendly skies with ya.

[redtiger02]

Well, you can always come fine me, BFE1127 or Nerek21. If you played Hawx, Blazing Angels 1 & 2, Over G, or AC6, we probably killed you at some point. Being ranked #1 and #3 in the world respectively does tend to sting a few asses. It doesn't hurt that we are both highly experienced real world pilots.

[Kamak86]

Im getting very excited to play with everyone, its going to be a very good time.8)

[Kamak86]

I invited everyone so far except Sol-Badgreg. Your gamer tag will not let me put in the dash. i also have tried combining it and taking the SOL out, still no luck.

[FOZ_1983]

Dont think you can have anything other than letters or numbers in your gamertag, so try either -

solbadgreg

sol badgreg
Sol Badgreg
sol Badgreg
Sol badgreg


just a couple lol.

[FOZ_1983]

Anyone here have the gamertag - M4JOR H4V0K???

I got a friends request from him/her so guessing its from this thread. Also got one from x Blue Leader x (ive accepted both), so will be flying with them over europe in my hurricane. Off topic, but i noticed all three of us had the same gamer pic to!! (the IL2 picture pack, RAF roundels).

[nicotlsefr]

hello you all...my gamertag:nicotlsefr
thanks...and see you

[BeaverCompany01]

My gametag is BeaverCompany01

[Ferigno]

Well, I just threw out a bunch of invites.

I can't wait for the release. I hate demo's. I'm pretty excited to actually compete on a level playing field. I'm going to get absolutely throttled at first, but it'll be a blast to get competent in a full on sim style combat game.

See you up there.

Cant wait to fly with some awesome dudes!

[dandymountfarto]

sounds like a do!

my GT is DandyMountfarto, you'll spot me a mile off as i'll be hopelessly flapping about the virtual sky tryin to figure out just what the hell is going on! just cos i enjoy WWII flight sims doesnt translate into me being any good at them.

think my first experience of flight sims were tomahawk and spitfire '40 on the good ol' zx spectrum in the mid '80s! then there was dambusters and ace of aces on c64 - anyone else remember those. great old days eh?

ps send me a msg on live if u cant add me to your list, as i have a rather busy FL and may need to drop some ppl to add new ones.

[FOZ_1983]

This squadron got a name? lol.

so far i've got myself, blue leader and major havok (as well as some of my friends not on this site) on my FL ready to fly.

[Kamak86]

So far i have everyone who posted on this thread except, SOLbadgreg and Dandymountfarto due to incorrect name for SOL and FL being full for Dandymountfarto. If anyone wants to send a FR without posting here my GT is Kamak86.

This squadron got a name? lol.

A name? eh what would you call a bunch of guys just wanting to have fun and fly and fight together? Will let the pilots who survive pick a name driven by fear. ;)

[FOZ_1983]

Shame its not cross platform :)

would of been good to show the PS3 fanboys how real pilots fly :P

[SleepTrgt]

Posted my GT earlier in this thread, page 1 or 2 maybe, so if anyone wants a hurricane pilot on their wing then drop me a friends request, just please leave a message saying your from here so that i dont decline by accident. Cheers fella's.

[Kamak86]

cheers kamak - will have a shuffle n send you one back.

No worries, just send one when ya can. 5 Days, good sirs and we shall have our war.

PS. I too have no idea who Major Havok is either.

Is it true that in the UK you have to pay for each landing you do on your airports?

:( unless its cross platform we cant play together, this is for xbox 360

[FOZ_1983]

Sorry matey, this is the 360 flyers. Their is another thread for the PS3 users though :)

[redtiger02]

It's on the AOPA website. They talk a lot about how the EU has user fees and they are fighting very hard to keep them out of the US. It's the ad with Harrison Ford.

[Kamak86]

:)only 2-3 more days depending on how long it takes to ship!

[House MD 221B]

Hey guys, I'm with the 202nd Exorcists F/B Squadron.

you guys up for organising a Squadron match at some point?

contact us through our website

http://www.202nd.webs.com

look forward to having a friendly with you :)

[LaRock O no Lie]

I'm up for flying with a squadron. my gamestop told me I can get it Thursday, they said the 2nd was the ship date, maybe they will do it later wed.

I only have the controller ATM, but I won my third try at an ace edge bundle from ebay. Hoping to get it sometime soon! UPS can be so slow. Most likely I will be doing offline to unlock planes while I wait for the flightstick.

Add me up on live. LaRock O no Lie

im sure it can be arranged :) we have an american detachment growing, so even if us limey's cant stay up so late to play you, our american brothers can :)

I believe one of the developers said that all the planes will be available for multi from day 1, only the German planes will not have cockpits. The controller isn't all bad, at least you guys have wheel brakes. I called Gamestop today and they are still expecting it to ship tomorrow, but they won't have the manifest for that shipment until around noon tomorrow. If Gamestop lied to the world I say we lead a march on their headquarters in Grapevine, TX and cover the place in monkey poo.

[Riceball]

I watched the entire Demo Broadcast Video and i thought he said that you unlock planes for MP by compleating the campaign missions.

[House MD 221B]

then select easy mode, and lets burn through it to get the MP planes :) Call of Duty World at War only took 4 Hours to complete, I reckon I could burn through this inside 6 :)

[Kamak86]

Oh ill be burning though those missions like crazy to get my planes. Im almost if not more pumped for this game than any other game before....its jst one thing is missing...only about 1/4 of my friends feel the same way about this game as i do. the rest dont care or say things like "lame" or "gay" :( they just want MW2 or ODST

[House MD 221B]

yeah that is a shame, none of my mates are interested, and the only one who would may only buy it on PC as he doesnt have an xbox. sucks dont it :) still, thats why squads are great, meet new people, get on with some of them, and have a great time :)

[Kamak86]

I cant wait to fly all the time with friends, its going to be sweet, i have many people from here to have fun and fly with. I also was wondering how the voice system is going to work, are we going to have markers for friendlies who are talking to know whos in trouble or is everyone going to use the party system? Can the party system even handle 8 people?

[House MD 221B]

the party system has a maximum of 8 people, but i know as a squad we'll probably be in party mode, unless it becomes temporamental.

[dald101]

Oops, almost forgot to add myself to this thread...

Would be nice to fly in sim mode with some mature and laid-back folks

Xbox gamertag- dia 12345678910 (and yes, i know it's a crap tag!)

[FOZ_1983]

its going to be fun flying with you all and over the course of time getting to know how we each fly and working well with each other as a unit etc. Looknig forward to it.
